SOS IN BRICK LANE

After watching a collection of documentaries such as ‘Style Like U’ and viewing blogs such as ‘The Selby’ which explore ‘Street Style’ in areas around the UK and world. I decided to do my own ‘SOS’ style scouting  series in Brick Lane - Shoreditch one of the trendiest fashion areas around London where hordes of the awesomely dressed roam the streets. Shoreditch is well known for its ‘hipsterness’ and ability to present its ORIGINAL grittiness and Graffiti plastered walls so BEAUTIFULLY, and most importantly keep its UNIQUENESS. Which again doesn't stop just at its physical beauty but its contents, contents of INDIVIDUALLY dressed inhabitants, who I had the luck of meeting as well as taking their picture whilst asking them all one question in particular, 'What or Who Inspires Your Style? '. 

The National Portraite Gallery Visit - Grayson Perry

As a starting point for my research on Identity within style I went to visit the Grayson Perry Exhibition which was taking place at The National Portrait Gallery on the 22nd of January. 

Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry turns his attention to identity as he creates portraits - from tapestries to sculptures and pots - of diverse individuals who are all trying to define who they are. This is explored explicitly through displays of new work in the exhibition which focuses mainly on British Identity including a self-portrait and tapestry, made during his Channel 4 series Who Are You?

It features Fourteen portraits of individuals, families and groups, including politician Chris Huhne, a young female-to-male transsexual, Northern Ireland Loyalist marchers and X-Factor contestant Rylan Clark, have been inserted into the Gallery’s nineteenth and twentieth century rooms.
